Chapter 168 Sword hidden in mural
Su Yun clasped Stone Pillar with both hands, lowered his waist and exerted force, trying to turn Stone Pillar to the left, but unfortunately Stone Pillar did not move at all.
Su Yun took a breath and continued to exert force, even the veins on his forehead bulged.
He only heard the crunching under his feet, and his face turned red from suppressing it, but Stone Pillar still didn't even sway.
Finally, Su Yun took a deep breath and let go of his hands, "No, I can't turn. Whoever has the strength, come over and try."
Xiao Jinglin asked, "If this pillar is rotated, can we get out?"
Su Yun said, "If I read it correctly, what is laid out here is Six-Turn Palace-Shift Formation. These Stone Pillar move according to the formation, and the path also changes accordingly.
This pillar is probably the hub for controlling the formation. Blood can awaken the patterns on it, and if you want it to work, you have to turn the pillar.
Turn left three times first, then turn three times right, and the formation should change."
"I'll give it a try."
Xiao Jinglin A guard came out from behind.
This person was more than half a head taller than the others, with broad shoulders and a thick back. Standing there, he almost completely blocked Su Yun.
His two arms were so thick that they stretched out his sleeves, and he looked like he was a master of martial arts.
Su Yun gave way, and the guard stepped forward and hugged Stone Pillar, shouting lowly.
His shoulders and back bulged at the same time, his clothes became tight, and with a click, the stone slabs under his feet cracked.
The Stone Pillar only trembled slightly but still did not turn.
The guard refused to give up, changed his position, and used his strength again.
This time, he even gritted his teeth and his face turned red, but it only added two more cracks under his feet. Stone Pillar still didn't move.
The guard finally let go of his hands, shook his head and said, "It's too heavy."
Su Yun frowned and said, "This thing has to withstand the resistance of the formation when it is turning. In my opinion, the arms must be six to seven thousand kilograms of strength at least to be able to turn it."
"Six to seven thousand catties?"
One Martial Artist smacked his lips and said, "This must be the strength of the Furnace Realm. Where can I find such a person here?"
Another person said, "If one person can't do it, it's better for two people to work hard together." Su Yun nodded, "This is a way."
Deng Qing said, "No need to bother, I'll give it a try."
The guard stepped aside and reminded, "Brother Deng, be careful, this pillar is extremely heavy."
Deng Qing nodded, walked closer, put his hands on the relief, and tested his strength first.
Then, he hugged him with his arms, spread his legs apart, and then his back sank.
Boom, there was a muffled sound from the bottom of Stone Pillar.
Immediately afterwards, the hand holding the pagoda of the statue moved to the left.
Everyone was shocked.
Xiao Jinglin stared at Deng Qing, and was surprised to find that Deng Qing was not blushing, not panting, and did not even sink into the waist.
Deng Qing It's like grinding, three turns to the left, three turns to the right, and it's done quickly.
"What a power!"
Su Yun exclaimed in shock, "This is the Brother Deng I know. Gentlemen, who is dissatisfied?"
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced, Chen now believes that Brother Deng has the ability to kill Huang Bingyao alone."
Chen Jun praised loudly.
Everyone was forming a group of people to praise Deng Qing. Suddenly, there was a rumble, and several Stone Pillars around them started to move, and the ground trembled non-stop.
In front of the tota statue, two floors separated to both sides, revealing a dark opening.
Below the opening, there is actually a section of stone steps extending downward.
"It's open!"
Chen Jun looked out and was overjoyed, "There is still a road below!"
No one dared to move rashly. Soon, someone cut down nearby trees, made a few torches, and threw them in first.
Seeing that the torches were burning brightly and there was nothing unusual, everyone felt a little relieved.
At that moment, Deng Qing took the lead and walked inside, followed by others.
After going down the stairs, you found a wide corridor.
The stone walls on both sides of the corridor are quite well preserved, and there is a fork ahead.
The skylight from the entrance comes in, and the murals on both sides are clearly revealed. In the painting is a woman holding a sword, with beautiful eyebrows, waterfall-like long hair rolled up loosely, and wearing a dress with wide sleeves.
In the first picture, she stands with her sword hanging, her head tilted slightly, as if she is looking forward to something;
Looking further forward, the woman has turned around with her sword raised, her skirt turned up, and one toe tapping the ground.
In the following pictures, the woman either advances to draw the sword, or bends down to lift it back.
"This..."
Su Yun barely glanced at it before he suddenly squeezed closer.
He stretched out his hand to brush away the floating dust on the wall, looked at the first picture and then took a few steps back, then suddenly stopped and turned around. "There is such a thing."
Su Yun murmured to himself, his face full of joy.
Deng Qing asked, "What did Brother Su see?"
Su Yun stared at the mural without looking back, "It looks a bit like ancient sword paintings."
"Sword painting?"
Deng Qing is interested.
Everyone's eyes were fixed.
Su Yun pointed at the woman's wrist holding the sword, "Look at these pictures, although the postures of drawing the sword are different, the front and back seem to be connected, which is very interesting.
But it's just interesting. To say that you can practice martial arts by relying on these paintings is just a fool's errand!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's interest, which was aroused, immediately faded away.
Chen Jun said, "Brother Deng, should we continue moving forward or wait here?"
Deng Qing glanced at the corridor and felt that it was very clean and safe, so he said, "Let's use this as a place to stay for the time being.
Those who are willing to hunt for treasures can go hunting for treasures nearby, and those who want to explore elsewhere can also go and have a look on their own. I will stay here first and learn the techniques."
What he said is true.
He plans to rescue Zhang Yan, but blind action will never work, he must be prepared.
Huang Changhe is very likely to have entered here.
If he really encounters that old guy, the other party will never give him a chance to break through the battle.
Deng Qing silently glanced at the panel. Collapse Step was only two percentage points away from advancing.
Devour Heaven Scripture is closer, only one percentage point difference.
However, it is difficult to push forward the progress of Devour Heaven Scripture quickly by just doing the exercises on weekdays. On the contrary, when taking blood refining food, the progress is often obvious.
There was no chance to draw blood-refining food at the moment, so he could only put aside the idea of reaching the realm Devour Heaven Scripture for the time being.
But it is difficult to make a breakthrough in Collapse Step at the moment, but he feels that it is very feasible.
And this place was also chosen by him as a temporary training place.
Xiao Jinglin raised his hand to Deng Qing, "Brother Deng, I'll go and have a look too."
Deng Qing said, "Brother Xiao, be careful."
Xiao Jinglin nodded and walked towards the front of the corridor with a few guards.
After a while, everyone dispersed.
Only Su Yun was left stuck in front of the stone wall, touching this picture and then that one, eyes filled with ecstasy.
Deng Qing withdrew his gaze, walked to the other side of the corridor, and sat down cross-legged.
This is not the time to save Wasteland Blood.
Immediately, he ran Devour Heaven Scripture to refine the Wasteland Blood accumulated in Dantian.
Instantly, gurgling heat followed Internal Breath, traveling all over his limbs and bones, making the pain accumulated from his continuous battles quickly subside.
When the body's heat was sufficient, Deng Qing stood up and began to practice Collapse Step.
As he practiced, the heat spread into his body little by little, and he felt more and more comfortable as he walked.
Unconsciously, his steps became lighter.
The ray of skylight leaking from the entrance became the boundary under his feet.
He seemed to be dancing in the light and shadow, not stuck in his body or walking, but just following his feelings.
As he advanced and retreated, his body was light and nimble, like a swallow flying across the water. With a slight click, it changed direction again.
Su Yun also fell into a state of selflessness, completely forgetting the existence of Deng Qing. His hands kept groping on the wall and he muttered words.
Deng Qing was practicing deeply when a group of green light suddenly appeared on the left stone wall.
He put his feet back and turned around to look, only to see Su Yun pressing a hand on the sleeve of the woman in the mural. There seemed to be a bulge there. The green light was only the size of a copper coin at first, then expanded to the size of a fist and began to swim on the wall.
Su Yun swallowed and said, "I seem to have opened this wall."
Deng Qing walked closer and asked, "What does opening the wall mean?"
Su Yun pointed at the murals, "These murals that record ancient skills are often protected by formations. What we can usually see are just the pictures on the outside, and the really important things are not exposed.
I learned a little from the old man, and just tried following the lines on it, but I didn't expect that I accidentally woken it up."
Deng Qing perked up, "So, can we learn the above exercises?"
"Not necessarily."
Su Yun shook his head and motioned Deng Qing to look at the green light.
While the two were talking, the light spot had moved from the woman's sleeve to the tip of the sword, and then suddenly flashed, appearing a few feet above her head.
Su Yun said, "As far as I know, this green light is the key to opening the stone wall. It must be hit in order for the formation to continue to change and reveal the hidden things."
Deng Qing stared at the light spot, and saw that the light spot was traveling faster and faster, flickering back and forth on the wall, sometimes climbing to the ground, and sometimes jumping to the opposite wall, like a living creature.
Deng Qing's eyes were bright, "How to hit? With fists, feet, or weapons?"
Su Yun was stunned by the question. He thought for a few breaths, shook his head and said, "I can't explain this. I only heard the old man mention it, and I know a little bit about it. I have never solved this kind of protective formation."
Deng Qing glanced at him and said secretly, "Brother Su, he knows a lot, but every time he gets to the important points, he always falls a little short.
But now that the opportunity has come, I have to give it a try."
He took two steps back and observed the movement pattern of the light spots for a while.
The next moment, the green light fell from the wall to the ground, and Deng Qing moved.
With a slight slip of his foot, the person swooped out.
Unexpectedly, just as he stood up, the light spot suddenly jumped upward and moved to the opposite wall.
Deng Qing Before the castration was complete, the arc traced by his feet suddenly tightened, his whole body spiraled against the stone wall, and his right foot stepped out with the force.
Snap!
There was a soft sound, and the sole of the shoe was covering the green light. Su Yun's eyes suddenly widened.
Deng Qing used the power of this step to turn over and fall to the ground, and quickly looked towards the wall.
A mural is still a mural.
No new handwriting appeared, and no other changes were seen. The green light moved away from his footing and continued to swim along the stone wall. "Awesome!"
Su Yun couldn't help shouting, "Brother Deng, you can really hit it!"
Deng Qing said, "What, from what you said, you didn't expect me to step on it?"
Su Yun waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. The light spot moved without any warning, and it was difficult for me to follow it with my eyes.
You have already jumped, but you are still able to turn around and hit the mark just in time. It is really..."
He gestured with his thumb, "Good Movement Technique! I just saw you practicing back and forth, but I didn't know the magic behind it. Now my eyes are opened."
Deng Qing was not in the mood to listen to his compliments, so he pointed at the wall and said, "Didn't you say that the formation will be released if you hit it? Why is there no movement at all?"
Su Yun smiled awkwardly, "Maybe... not enough times.
This is not nonsense. The ancients paid great attention to mathematics when setting up formations, and they also closely followed mathematics when designing formations.
Didn't the Stone Pillar just now have three turns on the left and three on the right, and it changes after enough rotation? You only hit it once, so it's not surprising that you can't untie it."
Deng Qing asked, "How many hits does it take?"
Su Yun frowned and thought for a while, "I remember the old man taught a song.
At the beginning of one yuan, the two rituals are clear; the three talents are positioned, and the four images move; the five elements complement each other, and the six unions channel spirits; the seven stars align, and the Bagua takes shape; the nine palaces hide changes, and the ten directions return to one.
Each of these numbers has its own special meaning in Ancient Formation. From my perspective, this formation pattern coincides with the appearance of the three nines.
It may be the number of three talents, or the position of Liuhe, or it may be the change of the nine palaces.
Therefore, this light spot may have to be hit three times in a row, or it may be six or nine times."
Deng Qing frowned when he heard this, "How many times?"
Su Yun coughed dryly. "I'm afraid I have to trouble Brother Deng to try a few more times."
